Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will be released on Game Pass on July 24, Microsoft announced TuesdayIt’s the first Call of Duty game coming to Microsoft’s subscription service under Activision Blizzard’s ownership. Modern Warfare 3 will be available on Game Pass for Xbox consoles, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Ultimate.
Activision and lead developer Sledgehammer Games have announced the release date Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 november 2023. Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to the 2022 franchise game, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2in which players can fight alongside Captain Price, Ghost and the rest of Task Force 141 in their international manhunt for villain Vladimir Makarov. Modern Warfare 3 also includes the series’ traditional multiplayer mode and Zombies, here reimagined as a cooperative player-versus-environment extraction mode.
Microsoft announced earlier this year that the 2024 game Call of Duty, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6will be a day-one release for Game Pass subscribers. But between that announcement and the October release of Black Ops 6Microsoft has updated its Game Pass subscription offerings, raising the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and doing away with its base Game Pass tier, replacing it with Xbox Game Pass Standard. The new Game Pass Standard will not include day one releases – a major shift in Microsoft’s strategy.
Microsoft closed its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October 2023, 21 months after it announced plans to buy the publisher of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Candy Crush. Since closing the deal, Microsoft has made little progress on bringing Activision Blizzard’s back catalog to Game Pass. However, Microsoft did bring Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo4 for console and PC Game Pass subscribers in March.
